E-Ride offers both a two-passenger utility vehicle and a four-passenger
transportation vehicle. Both street-legal vehicles have a
range of up to 55 miles
These 100% electric vehicles never need any gas, and require
just minimal maintenance. Operational costs run about 1.5
cents per mile… far less than a gas-powered vehicle, and they
don’t pollute! They are available in numerous optional configurations.
E-Ride vehicles are already in use by numerous colleges, universities
and governmental agencies throughout the US.

* - NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) is a Federally-approved
street-legal vehicle classification. They are also known as
LSV or Low-Speed Vehicles. This classification came into existence
in 1998 under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 500 (FMVSS
500). NEVs can legally travel on streets with a speed limit
of 35 mph or less. They must be licensed, and the driver must
be licensed. Because airbags are not required the NEV cannot
travel on highways or freeways.
